The Loner

Chapter 21- First School Day

Chapter 21- First School Day

Lauren's POV.

School. I don't want to go to school and knowing that I haven't gone there for so long, which is almost a month because of the holidays. I had to go back and study and focus on my school. I did finish all the homework that I had to do and my essay about Zayn. But even if I knew what his fears were, what he loved to do, what he wants to do in his life and all those others things I still felt like I didn't know him that well.

My thoughts went to girls from school and how they always stare at Zayn, blushed when Zayn caught them staring and how they talked about him. Yes I was alone most of the time, since I didn't wanted any friends.

Friends share secrets and that's what keeps them close and I couldn't share my secret because of a stupid promise to my fake-mom. I used to love her, but she kidnapped me and acted like my mom while my real mom was in tears and telling that to someone didn't feel real. It doesn't happen to everyone and I feel like no one could understand the pain I went through. No one tried to talk with me and no one wanted to be friends with The Loner

But back to those gossips about Zayn. Like I said earlier, I judged Zayn wrong. He seemed nice, sweet and caring. His eyes and smile was enough to make you happy and drool, and I am not going to lie to myself. His eyes mesmerised me so many times. I had seen girls starstruck about Zayn and some who had a small thing with him. I always wondered if what I heard was true. Some say that Zayn was like player, he knew how to play girls and I heard that he did a few times. Some say that he is a bad boy, that came from girls that Zayn hang out with. Apparently Zayn never told them about his life, about the gang, about anything. He barely talked and mostly joked around in class or he was teasing those girls. Some call him a lesson, the girls explained to their friends about how they made a big mistake going after him.

It used to be a mystery to find out what Zayn was like and after knowing some certain facts about him, I still thought that I didn't know him. The real him.

He was around me for almost a month, just me. The girls at school, must made up some theories and lies about me. Well that is if they ever noticed my existence when I was gone.

"Lauren!" I heard my mom. I shook my head to snap back to reality. I had learned hoe to put on some make-up from Doniya and I had finished my make-up when I let my thoughts take over my mind. I stood up and grabbed my school bag.

"Zayn is waiting!" My mom shouted from downstairs.

Everything will be different, and I can finally have a normal teenage life.

I breath out and relaxed myself as I made my way out. Zayn is going to drive me to school since my parents couldn't bring me today. I am going to school with Zayn and if people at school didn't make up those gossips yet, it would come this morning.

No matter how small your school can be, the gossips will fly around and will be made. It just will and I know it.

"Bye mom, I am going to do some studying in the library so I will come maybe late." I tell her kissing the top of her head as I walk out of the door.

"Ready?" Zayn asks and all I do is nod my head.

It feels weird the way I am dressed now to school. If you compare it to how I used to go to school, you'd think that I was living on the streets a few weeks ago and that I had won the lottery now. Not that I was dressed all fancy, I was wearing a black skinny jeans that made my legs look better than all my other jeans did with a sweater to keep myself protected from the cold weather in January. The length of the sweater was a little too short to cover my whole butt. My bag was just one of those hanging backpacks. They were small, but you'd be surprised to see how many things would fit in it.
